November/December 2006.
Ed Gray of Lyme, NH has a book deal about his father, L. Patrick Gray, III, who succeeded J. Edgar 
Hoover as FBI head in 1972 and was later forced to resign when he became ensnared in the Watergate 
cover-up. Based primarily on Gray's private first-person accounts written at the time, the book will 
show how the battle over the post-Hoover FBI succession and the perfidy of the Watergate conspirators
destroyed the Nixon presidency, as well as Gray's career. Ed will complete his father's book,
supplementing the text with documents, tape transcripts, and third-party accounts. A spring 2008
publication is anticipated.

nation.

Bob Sanner of Palo Alto, CA notes that Fred Cowan in Louisville, KY has announced a run for Circuit 
Court Judge.  Bob says "same old, same old," though dramatically he reports buying a new car.  Sam 
Ostrow confirmed hearing that Cowan was competing in Kentucky politics again, and added to the "same 
old, same" he just leased a new car, the same make and model for the third time!  More "same old, same 
old" than Sam even imagined he could sink to.
